Just Passing Through Miss
Normally I am known to my faithful readers (all three of you) as the High Priestess of Happy, always at the ready with a chirpy word to lift the spirits or the rose-colored glasses to see the can of Fresca as half full. Today though, I feel the forces of darkness and melancholy descending upon…

Like Gno-One Else
Today I sit mob-blogging live from the Gnomedex 4.0 confab in beauteous Reno, Nevada. There are very few times in life when you walk into a room and find true compatriots. This is even more the case when you are a wacky girl who reads the Economist, Ruski-history and 400-page tomes of German science and…

From the Bottom Up
A note to my gnomie…some things in life come easy but the best are earned through smarts and determination. Like B and Angel, now that our essences have co-mingled, our lives are forever changed. Thanks for sticking in with me to go from the rear to the front of the victory line. :redhead:

The Decade of Decadence Redux
Perhaps it’s the lingering glo-worm nostalgia from the great Gipper’s passing but lately I feel like the world is one big 80’s flashback. Ribbon belts, docksiders, faux pearls and turned up Judd Nelson-like collars are all the rage. And let us not leave out the cultural barometer by which all nostalgic great 80’s awakenings are…

Catch of the Day
Something fishy? Ready to get really raw? Today we shall talk of my new favorite obsession…sushi, baby! The fact that I now put my chompers into raw soy sauce covered sea creatures comes as quelle shock to those who know me like the back of their hand. To label me a picky eater is about…

It’s All Inside
Folks thought comic Jeff Foxworthy was a hoot and a holler some years back with his “You Know You’re A Redneck If” routine. I have to say though, for anyone who’s spent one iota of time in my home state of the Buckeye groves, rednecks got nothin’ on we Ohioans…especially when it comes to idiosyncratic…

My Two Scents
On this a customarily muggy Beltway afternoon, I ask with a sigh and a sniff, why has aftershave and men’s cologne gone the way of the Trapper Keeper and joysticks…into the dustbin of user history? I searched my soul with that query this morning after walking by a maintenance man hosing off the sidewalk and…

Tanning Your Hyde
Today’s topic is leather….premium, supple, soft as an infants’ bum cow hyde…with premium closures!:cheer: Growing up in a fam of handy hands, I became accustomarily giddy at the smell of wood glue, sawdust, kitchen formica and leather goods being created in the science lab otherwise known as our garage. So imagine my unbridled joy to…

Coming Home: Ode to the Birthday Boy
We all fantasize about our dream house. For most, it is brand-spanking new in a quiet suburban enclave, fitted with an austentacious three-car garage (Porsche in tow) and a bubble-filled bath-tub jacuzzi that you and your honey use EVERY night. Hey, this is your fantasy!:twisted: Mine on the other hand, looks something like George Bailey’s…

Livin’ (3X) Large: News and Views from the Emerald City
Jonesin’ for tales of a dark, dank and cob-web rich tour of the urban underground? Curious to hear how a stroll in the International district resulted in me being labeled a “big girl” and the purchase of two retro eyeglass frames older than Steven Tyler’s cock rock hairstyle and lead singer tights? Then come with…
